Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 55 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Graham on 08-Nov-2001 10:56 GMT | In reply to Comment 52 (Peter Gordon): Judging by the number of start menu clones on Aminet, a lot of people like the idea.
Of course, in an Amiga, the option would be there to turn it off. Like there is in KDE (who at least don't label it "start" and who can also get it to scale to the height of the bar).
The fact is a modern OS can do a lot more with applications, AmigaOS barely supports minimisation, and that to an icon on the desktop. At least a taskbar/menu allows you easy access to that iconified menu... Task management is a large part of any desktop OS, and Workbench has none, apart from the launcher tabs in 3.9, and the aforementioned Aminet tools. |
